Before the Mid Autumn Festival, I was busy making moon cakes with various fillings, and after the Mid Autumn Festival, I was busy sorting out various moon cake recipes. Speaking of which, this Cantonese mooncake filled with white bean sand and cranberries is my great love. White bean sand is a specialty of Mr. Yu's hometown in Yushan, Jiangxi. It was also a tribute during the Qing Dynasty, and was specially brought by people from his hometown in Jiangxi. It can also be steamed and eaten during meals. I have already explained the recipe for white bean paste in the previous recipe. This time, you can use it ready-made and mix it with dried cranberries to make a sweet and sour mooncake filling, which is really unique. This recipe is based on the formula of Xinliang mooncake powder, with slight adjustments. The quantity of the recipe can be calculated based on a ratio of 50g of mooncake mold scalp to 3:7 of filling, which can make 40 pieces and 20 pieces of filling. If you want to make the same quantity of leather filling, you can add or subtract based on this formula.
